About this program
The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service funds technical assistance and training grants for school nutrition employee professional standards development under CFDA 10.547, with no recent grant opportunities currently open and the most recent award issued September 10, 2018.
This program has been inactive in terms of new solicitations for nearly a decade. The portfolio shows 75 total awards dating to 2015, with funding heavily concentrated in the program's first two years: 55 awards in 2015 and 16 in 2016, followed by only 2 awards each in 2017 and 2018. Combined federal dollars obligated across the entire portfolio total $12.4 million. All awards have been Project Grants, a structure that dominated this program's architecture.
Recent awards reflect funding for state-level technical assistance and training initiatives. A $3 million award to Georgia (award date September 29, 2017) supported professional standards implementation; Mississippi received $2.2 million for technical assistance (June 26, 2018); and Mississippi also received $834 thousand for professional standards technical assistance (September 10, 2018). Smaller state-level awards in 2015 and 2016 ranged from approximately $83 thousand to $150 thousand, with several states receiving nominal or zero-dollar awards. The portfolio reflects geography-wide eligibility spanning 50 states plus territories.
The most recent solicitation on file is FY2015 Professional Standards Training Grant (posted February 27, 2015, due June 8, 2015), which restricted eligibility to state agencies administering the National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program with no cost-share requirement and a one-application-per-state constraint. No subsequent opportunities are documented. Given the seven-year gap since the last award and absence of posted solicitations, this program appears dormant and should be classified as a watch rather than a pursue opportunity unless new solicitations emerge.
